Currently, makepkg aborts when colors are enabled (the default) and it runs in a terminal that does not support it, because tput returns a non-zero exit code. --- Another solution would be appending "|| true" to each tput line or disabling errexit in this section, so we get at least bold. Not sure if this is a real improvement, when the color option makes text bold but not colored. scripts/makepkg.sh.in | 5 ++++- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in index dbc4047..1795b54 100644 --- a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in +++ b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in @@ -1620,8 +1620,11 @@ fi PACMAN=${PACMAN:-pacman} # check if messages are to be printed using color +# It is needed to explicitly check if the terminal supports colors, because +# otherwise, tput will return a non-zero exit code that stops makepkg due to +# bash's errexit option. unset ALL_OFF BOLD BLUE GREEN RED YELLOW -if [[ -t 2 && ! $USE_COLOR = "n" && $(check_buildenv color) = "y" ]]; then +if [[ -t 2 && ! $USE_COLOR = "n" && $(check_buildenv color) = "y" ]] && tput setaf 0 &>/dev/null; then ALL_OFF="$(tput sgr0)" BOLD="$(tput bold)" BLUE="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 4)" -- 1.7.1
